I agree they ran out of steam and that is no fault of their part. However, I did think it showed late in the game how light they are up front. Bringing on Park and Chamakh against AC Milan....just not going to work.

I mean in terms of strikers though. There are times you are going to have to replace a wide midfielder for a striker, winning or losing, chasing the game or closing the game out. If you were able to throw another goal threat at Milan, it would have given them something to deal with.

Hasn't been a bad week and a bit for us. In the last 10 or so days beaten Sp*rs, Liverpool and Milan. Not bad recently at home in the last few games. 3 games, 3 wins, 15 goals, 3 conceded.

I'm very proud to be a gunner tonight we gave everything we had! The fans were incredible best atmosphere I ever experienced thanks so much!

We knew we had something special with Ox before this, but this morning he took that to a whole new level this morning.

A while back a few people I know were whinging and bitching about how he was a waste of money and now look at him.

Even as a fan of Spurs I say fucking suck it to anyone who used to bad-mouth Rosicky, he's been immense for you lot now for some time.

A while back a few people I know were whinging and bitching about how he was a waste of money and now look at him. Such an under-rated player I feel.

:-s No one ever bitched about him, just saying that he was never the player he was before his injury, it's only been in the past few months that he's started to come back to his best.

Every Arsenal fan when a player is out of form?;)

I think Rosicky has flourished in the absence of Fabregas and Nasri. Has meant he's been able to play in his best position, instead of being stuck out wide like he was for the last few years whenever fit.

One thing's for sure, he's earnt that contract extension he was looking for, been immense this past month or so.

[size=6]Rosicky - We can hold our heads high[/size]

Tomas Rosicky left Emirates Stadium wondering what might have been on Tuesday night but he insists Arsenal can hold their heads high after their aggregate defeat to Milan.

The Czech midfielder produced another imperious midfield display and stroked home the second goal as Arsenal stormed into a 3-0 lead before half-time.

Ultimately their heavy first-leg defeat at the San Siro cost the Gunners a place in the quarter-finals but Rosicky took heart from a rousing performance in front of a noisy Emirates crowd.

"I am proud of my team-mates because what we produced today was great football, but it's sad because obviously we are out of the competition," Rosicky told Arsenal Player. "We can go out with our heads held high but we blew it in Milan.

"We knew [that we would be making history if we came back] and that's what the boss told us in the pre-match speech. Who wouldn't want to be part of something special? So of course we were up for it and I think you could see that. So it's a shame.

"The early goal was definitely a big boost for us, when you score so early it gives you a boost. Even if we hadn't scored so early we would have kept coming because you have to do that, you have to keep pounding the rock. An early goal makes you think it's possible so it was vital."

Rosicky scored his second goal in nine days after out-foxing Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati with a clever finish.

"To be honest I saw that the keeper was moving already to the middle of the goal," explained Rosicky. "I saw his legs moving away from the near post so I tried to place it there and it paid off.

"We had a big opportunity to score the fourth one as well. But always you come back to the game in Milan."

[size=6]Van Persie is EA SPORTS Player of the Month[/size]

Tomas Rosicky ran him close but the prolific Dutchman emerged victorious from our February poll with just over 40 per cent of the fans' votes.

Robin continued his fine run of goalscoring in February, firing a hat-trick in the 7-1 win over Blackburn Rovers at Emirates Stadium.

The striker also turned provider, overtaking Theo Walcott in the Premier League assist charts by the end of the month.

Van Persie was among the goals once more in the North London derby win over Tottenham, hitting a brilliant equaliser on the stroke of half time to help Arsenal pull off a thrilling comeback.

Rosicky came second with 31.7 per cent of the votes, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was third with 9.7 per cent.
